Sirach 41:16DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 16 of 28
"A good life hath its number of days: but a good name shall continue for ever."
In context
14The mourning of men is about their body, but the name of the ungodly shall be blotted out.
15Take care of a good name: for this shall continue with thee, more than a thousand treasures precious and great.
16A good life hath its number of days: but a good name shall continue for ever.
17My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is there in them both?
18Better is the man that hideth his folly, then the man that hideth his wisdom.
